Get the current URL of the Browser instance

This feels like a pretty basic question that I cannot resolve. However, I am new to this also.

I'm reading through a set of files on a network share.

I'm parsing those files based on a delimiter to get an ID from the file name.

I'm searching in a web app for that ID and clicking on the result.

The URL changes to include the internal ID (different than mine).

The Flow fails to click on an Anchor. It cannot find it despite all my efforts.

However, if I could just append /Integrations to the current URL I would have a good work around.

But I cannot for the life of me determine how to extract the current URL from the %Browser% instance.

Again in the middle of the flow take the launch browser and give the URL
in that URL and pass the variable that comes with the ID.
An example is attached in the image, my variable COINumber
which is passed into the URL

Use the Get details of web page action and make it get the current URL:

Hi ,
I need assistance in obtaining the URL of a newly opened tab, which is dynamically generated each time.
Scenario : After clicking the 'Ok' button in the current tab, I am redirected to a new tab, but I do not interact with this new tab directly. My aim is to extract the URL of this new tab and save it in a variable for further use within the automation flow. Additionally, I would like guidance on how to interact with elements on this new tab to validate all elements on new tab

Hello, what about using Power Automate cloud flow (not Power Automate Desktop)? I cannot seem to find the action 'Get Details of Web Page'
